    Questions

    More questions

    • When should post-surgical home care start?

      Ideally before discharge. We can review the surgeon's plan, prep the home and meet you the day you come home. We can also start mid-recovery if you only realise later that more help is needed.

    • What is the difference between this and clinical home care?

      Post-surgical care is a focused application of our clinical home care service: shorter, more intensive, organised around a specific procedure and recovery window.

    • Can you coordinate with my surgeon or hospital?

      Yes. With your consent we liaise with your surgeon's team, share recovery notes and flag anything that needs medical review.

    • Do you cover overnight cover after surgery?

      Yes. Overnight nursing cover is common for the first week or two after major surgery, especially when family caregivers also need to sleep.

    • Can the patient's family abroad book this?

      Yes. Many of our post-surgical clients are booked by sons and daughters abroad. We send per-visit reports on WhatsApp and bill the family directly.
